Top place for relaxing

The place is a rather small all inclusive resort. We are not big eater and drinker at all, but this free cocktails and meals have not disturbed us at all. Quite the opposite. The personal is locally recruited, well educated nice mates. There was a personal type of contact between the guests and the personal, not a distance keeping type of service. The opposite of the one we have seen in some parts of San Maarten. The environment is just nice, good beach, clean pool, tennis court. That is easy to find excursions. We have visited the Frigate Bird Sanctuary in Barbuda, the Sting ray City. There were a guided botanic walk in the surrounding forest, lead by a local rasta fashioned medicine man. Made some dive trips but we had to arrange them in advance. We could not found any place for snorkeling, but the dives were excellent. I should recommend to take a ride on the island just for seeing how the people are living and getting chance to change some words with the nice local people. I would not hesitate to visit this place ones more…More

A couple girlfriends and I got a deal on a travel site to come here and were beyond pleasantly surprised. It was lovely and we had an amazing trip. The staff was incredibly sweet. One of my friends got sick (too much sun) and they brought her tea, soup and fruit. They were amazing.The room was clean and spacious. The food was very good. It sounds silly, but this place has AMAZING soups. There is a different one every day and they are all worth trying. The staff will go above and beyond to make you happy. And the beach is gorgeous. We were all so happy.

Cute little gem nestled in a beautiful beach in Antigua. Very relaxing place. Great place to go for some rest and relaxation! The staff was wonderful- they always had recommendations and were happy to make your stay more enjoyable. I do have to say though, coming from NY, things are A LOT slower down here. Once you become accustomed to this fact, your stay will become more enjoyable! The beach was beautiful and the water very warm. If you have any excursions in mind, make sure to meet up with Frenchie! He helped us book a deep sea fishing excursion and a trip on a catamaran; we had a blast! The bartenders were great- they were not light handed on any drinks that is for sure! Overall, very good for the price. No wireless access in the rooms is a bit of a burden, but there is wireless in the lounge area and on one side of the bar. If you've never been to Antigua before, make sure you bring enough $USD- for whatever reason it is the currency of choice on the island and you will get much better deals when you deal in $USD then if you deal in the local Eastern Carribean dollar. Tourism is the heart of Antigua's economy and for that reason everybody down here is very nice to tourists unlike other beach destinations. We had a blast and would certainly stay here again!

Room Tip: Ground floor rooms are great as you have easy access to the beach.

This is a small quiet hotel where people mostly sun bathe, read, swim, relax, eat and drink. If you are looking for night life and noisy excitement this is not the place for you.

We had a standard room which opened onto the small strip of garden before the beach. The room was spacious with more storage space than we needed. The bathroom was adequate but needs a rubber bath mat to make showering safer. (I fell over). Both bedroom and bathroom were cleaned daily and we were very happy with the standard.

The food provided on our all inclusive deal was extremely good and made this hotel quite exceptional. We stayed two weeks and the menus were not repeated. In the case of the fish cakes I regretted this.

The bar is a focal point for meeting other guests and making friends. It is also the place for accessing free Wi-Fi. Copious amounts of rum certainly add to this conviviality. It is worth noting that although the bar is open from mid-morning till 11 at night I only saw one person drunk during the whole of the time and he was not bad just a little unpleasant.

It is very pleasant to cool off in the attractive pool and step out into the bar area and meet people and have a drink.

The staff here as in the restaurant are very friendly and helpful and, as many people have already said, make the holiday.

The beach is public as are all beaches in Antigua but as Coconut Beach is the only hotel it is used almost exclusively by guests and is therefore mostly empty. It is cleaned everyday by the excellent maintenance staff who look after the extensive gardens. There are two tennis courts which were frequently in use during our stay.

For those interested in watching boats the cruise ships pass quite close to the beach on their way into the harbour at St John's. It provides an extra focal point in the morning and evening.

For those interested in bird watching we saw 52 species in and around the hotel.

The down side of Antigua, not just this hotel, from my point of view is the sand flies which are a great nuisance. If you react to these bites be well prepared before you come with insect repellent and use it all the time. Sun tan lotion with insect repellent worked for me during the day and DEET at night. If you are susceptible bring antihistamines.

Room Tip: I liked the standard room because it opened directly onto the beach area.

My husband & I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We have a 6 year old daughter and had not been out of the country together in 5 years. I was a little nervous because it was a Living Social Deal and because our work schedules are so demanding I really didn't spend as much time reading up on reviews. I must say now after meeting Roselle, Clifton (ask him for the Pina Colada), Jahilda (ask her for the Sunny Days), Samantha, Cotton and Ms. Bernadette we were absolutely overwhelmed with how much they took care of not only us but all the guests during our visit.

We had a junior suite on the second floor with quiet AC, NO T.V., NO Radio...you simply don't need it if your are looking to truly relax. We had a sofa, two chairs, kitchen table that seated 4. Coffee/Tea, Mini refrigerator, fresh flowers, a safe to secure your personal items, & closet with drawers. We enjoyed the hammock on the patio as well as sitting in the lounge chairs on the patio to read and watch the cruise ships pass by. We woke up every morning to the beautiful sound of the ocean waves. Plainly put our suite was simple, clean, quiet and just right for the two of us.

We received 3 meals and tea time daily. It was such a nice variety: soups, salads,toast, muffins, fresh juices, coffee, tea, eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh tomatoes, fresh pineapple, fresh canteloupe/honeydew melons, bananas, apples, assorted cheeses, jams, pastas, fish, chicken, beef, pancakes, unlimited house wines, ribs, steamed vegetables, steamed rice, calamari...I wrote all these items down so that I would not forget, but there were so many other dishes. All was excellent.I was even more impressed with how friendly the guests were with each other. My husband & I met a couple who were staying for 3 weeks, we would have loved to do that, lol! There was another couple who had been there 19 times!

We were able to FaceTime our daughter every night (near the lounge) before dinner and never had any problems with the Wi-Fi connection. We could also visit the computer room to surf the internet if necessary but we had our Ipad and laptop which we could connect to their Wi-Fi in the lounge area as well.The only time we left the resort was Sunday to see Shirley Heights. We met Mr. Frenchie and he arranged a personal taxi for us and this guy was great. Our driver gave us a 1 hour tour and we saw a pineapple farm, he took us on the Nelson Dockyard, he showed us where Montserrat and Mount Obama were located and it's history. He took us up to Shirley Heights where we enjoyed the steel band, barbeque and we met even more people. Our driver took such care of us, he even found us in the crowd ( it get's crowded) to make sure we were o.k. I was simply blown away at how patient and kind our driver treated us.

We enjoyed relaxing on the beach during the day and walking through the beautiful turquoise waters. It was mid-December and the water temperature was perfect. The only negative that was beyond the staff's control were the mosquito's and sand flies. I forgot to pack insect repellant so I rubbed listerine on my legs. It helped a little. We didn't hang out late at night so we can't elaborate.

Thank you so much CBC for a wonderful stay...we will return.
